Stunning digital content made in Manchester

Oh hi there

We are Ben and Ellie Horrigan, a digital media mom-and-pop shop based in Manchester, with a focus on creating stunning digital content for non-profit organisations and local businesses. Ben has six years' experience producing video and other content for the BBC's online platforms, while Ellie is an organisational machine and a mean violin player.

We specialise in turning projects around quickly, cost-effectively and to an excellent standard. Basically, you get to work with one multi-skilled professional instead of paying a team of producers, writers, designers, editors and people calling themselves “social media gurus”.

As well as the quality digital video you can see in our showreel, we do graphic design, branding, social media management, and other digital content like blogs, quizzes and infographics. Find out more on our Services page or get in touch with us directly.

We produce video, graphics, branding, social media content and more. What do you need? Let's have a chat.

This was a lovely project to work on with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra.

Yes, that was my brief for this promo video for MaxxOne‘s new Starlight Dome Camera. This is state-of-the-art tech (it can record colour images in almost complete darkness) so my client wanted me to recreate the feel of an Apple advert.

A friend of mine asked me to help her create a video of her reading Judi Walker’s poem ‘Don’t Tell Me’ for a memorial service as part of Baby Loss Awareness Week. The words are simple but powerful, so I wanted the style to be as natural and direct as possible.

MaxxOne, an online-based security brand, approached us to create an animated promo video for their new wifi-connected alarm system.

The product is plain white and doesn’t look especially sexy on its own, so it was important to place it in situ within a Read more about Kite Smart Alarm System[…]
